there are a lot of events organized around the world about OpenStack but
only a few of them are organized by the OpenStack Foundation. What
usually happens is that a set of people/organizations decide to dedicate
one day or more for an OpenStack-related conference or meeting. The
European OpenStack days mentioned by Marton are one example, the ones in
Israel are another, OpenStack Tokio Day etc. The OpenStack Foundation
can support such events in different ways.

If you and others in Indonesia want to organize a conference about
OpenStack all you have to do is to get started with a proposal for the
conference itself (will it be aimed at university students? local
government? businesses?), then think about a venue and dates and issue a
call for speakers. You may want to talk to your nearest Ambassador(s)
[in your case they may be Kavit Munshi, Ye Lu, Akira Yoshiyama and
Akihiro Hasegawa as they have other suggestions based on their experience].

You may also want to get some support from local sponsors since that
will help the Foundation decide how to support it, if a sponsorship is
needed, etc.

This suggestion is valid also for other groups around the world: if you
want to organize events for OpenStack talk to your nearest Ambassador
and pick their brain for ideas:
